LOS ANGELES (UPI) -- An innocent bystander was killed Wednesday
as two off-duty policemen exchanged gunfire with a woman after
breaking up a fight at an upscale shopping mall in Los Angeles.
The incident began about 2:20 a.m. as patrons were spilling out
of The Worldnightclub in the Beverly Center, where Officers Michael
Sullivan and Barry Blocker were working as off-duty security guards.
The officers were breaking up a fight between two women when they
saw a third woman in a car pointing a small handgun at them.
Police said Sullivan pushed away the woman he had been struggling
with, drew his 9mm pistol and fired five rounds at the gunwoman.
Police said the woman, identified as Trina Campbell, 22, fired one
shot and sped from the mall.
Bystander George Wright, 21, was hit once in the lower abdomen
and died at a nearby hospital. Detectives said it was not known who
fired the fatal shot.
Police found the suspect at Kaiser Permanente Hospital in West
Los Angeles where she was treated for a gunshot wound to the left
arm. She was arrested and booked on suspicion of murder.
The two women who had been fighting fled when the gunfire erupted
and had not been found. Detectives said one of the women had been a
passenger in Campbell's car.
